cffile accept="application/msword" problem with Firefox

[billdimit]

I'm having problem with Firefox and upload of Word doc files. Here is the code:

<cffile accept="application/msword,application/pdf,text/html,text/htm" action="upload" destination="#base#" nameconflict="makeunique" filefield="fileName">

It works fine in IE 6&7.

In Firefox if user tries to upload a MS Word doc it gets this error message:

The MIME type of the uploaded file "application/unknown" was not accepted by the server.

No problems with pdf's, html's and htm's files.

Any idea?
Thanks,

I'm using Firefox 2 and Word 2003 versions.

Anyone?
Why Firefox doesn't recognize the MIME type application/msword?
By the way, I've tried uploading excel and it works with this code:
accept="application/vnd.ms-excel"
Thanks,

Firefox stores its mime type references in a file called MimeTypes.rdf under your user profile that can become corrupted or vary from user to user. Have you tried anything to isolate that this issue isn't due to your particular Firefox installation - like testing the form on a different computer?

Thanks,
You were right. It was my computer. I've copied MimeTypes.rdf from another computer and now it works.
